About 20 minutes to game time

It's a muggy, breezy day here in Amherst. Overcast skies, with the occasion burst of sunshine. Looks like it could rain at some point.

The Orange are wearing ORANGE! UMass is dressed in white shirts and maroon shorts.

Some news to report: Sean McGonigle has been suspended from school for a year. McGonigle was arrested by Syracuse police earlier this year after he allegedly punched another SU student several times in the face. That student, according to police, refused to leave a party hosted by a girlfriend of a Syracuse lacrosse player. McGonigle was to appear in Syracuse city court earlier this month, but his case has been postponed until late May.

McGonigle had his case heard by the university's Judicial Review Board a few weeks ago. SU spokespeople are not allowed to divulge the results of that conference, but clearly, the Judicial Review Board decided to toss him out of school. I'm told he is back in his native California. So it appears that Jay Shaw will get some play today.
